    Neat little store with items you wont commonly find unless you are in smaller stores like this. Some things are a bit over priced but they do have salty licorice, which is pretty hard to find in this city.

    I decided to come here out of curiosity after reading through the almost 20 reviews. I decided not to eat at the deli because several yelpers complained of the food being not as fresh as it should be thus creating an inconsistent experience. On my visit, I thought I would add more photos and plug in some additional information. When you arrive, parking can be an issue since there's only two dozen spots out front and this place is popular. The good news is that there is another parking lot directly across the street with much more parking or park next to the bookshop (there's a bus stop here too). Inside the store, you'll find many upscale offerings in the form of wine, chocolates, olive oil's, sauces, drinks, cheeses and frozen items to name a few. Others had mentioned that the prices here are kind of high, but they are not outrageously so. They're pretty much in line with what you would pay at Central Market just down the street. They do have some indoor seating, but most of it is semi covered outside, which consists of about two dozen tables. On my visit, I found everything to be very well merchandised with plenty of fresh items in the deli case. Having a very popular bookshop and pizza spot directly next-door certainly adds to the overall attraction. Definitely a great gathering spot for the local Hyde Park residents. Informative photos and videos to round this out.

    Beautiful grocery. A lot of items not found in a typical grocery. A good of ice cream, chips, wine, cheese, chocolates and more.

    This was the local post office for a lot of people in college so it's fun to see it recycled/converted to something new. They have tons of gifts, wines, and odd food items, including Iberian ham flavored potato chips and baby toys. The deli is counter service and there are about five tables inside and a rib outside in a covered area. The prices are big city prices, but I enjoyed my $6 spinach empanada and also the soup and salad combos. There is plenty of parking and a cute little bookstore next door. I took my friend here for her 94th birthday and we had a great time. Hyde Park spots don't seem to have a lot of turnover so it's nice to see something new. Tiny Grocer has two locations, and the Hyde Park location turns into a fine dining French restaurant at night. Think Moules and Steak Frites.

    French Dip and Bean Salad, Completely underwhelming and inedible.
    Hali M.

    I've frequently stopped by Tiny Grocer to pick up specialty grocery items and have always appreciated the curated aisles--especially when I can't make it down to Central Market. Unfortunately, the deli counter should be avoided at all costs. I've tried sandwiches at both The South and Hyde Park locations, and they've been consistently disappointing and inedible . The baguette in the jamón and butter sandwich was stale, and the French dip was bland, greasy, and underseasoned. I also picked up a bean salad that when opened smelled rancid and tasted off--definitely not something I'd expect from a place with premium pricing. I'd only recommend visiting if you're looking for a gift and already happen to be in the area. Skip the deli.

    Cute little grocer with deli and cafe inside. Seating for cafe available inside and outside. Coffee is great, service was fast without a long line

    Wine selection
    Edwyn A.

    They have deli counter service during the weekday lunch. The French dip with au jus was yummy with a very deep and rich dipping sauce. It's counter service so you will have to pick up your dish to the side of the counter. Drinks have to be ordered separately at the cafe bar. Get their frozen rose if it's a nice day. As always I like the selection of curated items in the grocery section. Point off because the point of sale system has gratuity on by default ... I can understand this for the deli and the cafe but not the grocery store. It is just annoying that they ask for tip for groceries especially since it's an upmarket place. It is configurable so I'm up in arms why most stores don't configure the gratuity option out or set them to reasonable amounts like 5% or less for minimal services.

    Iced vanilla matcha
    Abby H.

    I used to live in North Campus and this would be a go-to study spot for me!!! Unfortunately, my matcha was really not great this time around - tasted watered down and there were clumps of matcha powder. But really love the vibe here so I'm at a crossroads. Maybe just shouldn't order the matcha again

    at the Coffee bar at Tiny Grocer Hyde Park :)
    Jennifer H.

    Abby's cappuccino's are absolutely the best in Austin! She serves with grace, kindness, and is a pleasure to chat with at the coffee bar while I'm working on my business, crafts, and waiting to meet a friend for breakfast or lunch. Her presence at the Tiny Grocer along with the older gentleman (forgive me, I forgot his name, I believe he is the manager), create a welcoming neighborhood vibe that is quintessential to Hyde Park. As a resident of Hyde Park for over 6 years, I can truly say that Tiny Grocer and its service staff is a beautiful addition to the neighborhood. Groceries are a bit pricey, but if you are in a rush and need bread, eggs, or feminine products in a pinch, its a delight that they are around the corner. Not enough has been said about the service in Austin Texas, specifically people in the service industry who help create the vibe at establishments throughout the city. Attentive, kind, and communicative staff is the bedrock of excellent service and guest returning to experience not just the food and atmosphere, but also the hardworking individuals that can make you smile.

    Matcha on the patio, plenty of work from home spots

    Very cute place to work from home or study or grab lunch or brunch. The groceries themselves are a little pricey, but well curated so it's worth it. They have a wonderful selection of wine as well! Can't wait to live walking distance from her in a few weeks!! I'll for sure be a regular

    The man who asked me to leave.

    Turns out the pending transaction was not voided, and he did not actually refund me like he said he would.

    $6 for a tiny empanada!?!? I guess that is why the name tiny grocer, but be sure to bring mucho dinero. I like what they did with the old post office, but this store is for the local Hyde park residents who have money to burn. Nice interior but their AC was on the fritz only a year after opening. I asked if they had half and half. They said yes, but when I checked they had every alternate dairy version but no real half and half. The empanadas were horrible. I've had better from a High School cafeteria. The beef did not taste like beef. Tasted funny. Was probably the vegan beef. If so, say that. Took two bites and tossed it to the dogs. They sniffed it and didn't want to have any part of it. There were so many vegan products in there it smelled like a beverly hills spa. No reason for me to go back here, considering all the alternatives in the area, that have equivalent or better products at much lower price.

    Had an amazing sandwich (which was small) but will likely never go back because $18 for a pastrami sandwich with no sides is just wrong.

Apparently, not realizing this page already existed. Anyway, covering all my bases and doing a review here as well. Note: I've also suggested an edit for the duplicate businesses. Ok now that is out of the way. Review time: I really love this location so much. The store is huge with wide aisles making it easy to navigate compared to the smaller stores. Even if it's crazy busy on a Sunday afternoon you can still get to the items you need with ease. The store is still very clean and of course modern since the rebuild. Employees are friendly. The shelves are stocked fully 99.999% of the time. I live extremely close to the East 7th Street store (5 min away) and opt for this location time and time again.

I love that they have a parking garage so if it's pouring down with rain, one doesn't get drenched trying to get one's vehicle with a basket load of groceries. On the ground floor, there is True Texas BBQ with ample seating. One can take the elevator or escalater up to the second floor to the supermarket. On the escalater, there is one side for you and the other side for your trolly of groceries. I have abandoned my neighborhood HEB and now patronize this one at 2400 S. Congress Ave.

    I live nearby and I go here every few days. The place suffers a bit from being downtown (higher…read moreprices and unkempt people outside) but on the whole they do fairly well. Contrary to another review, they usually have fresh fruit on hand; bananas in a basket and prepared fruit cups. They have a fair selection of beer, wine, soft drinks and coffees. They have sandwiches and other prepared food (e.g. giant $4 burritos) in the cooler. One time I had to ask for toilet paper and the guy brought it out from the back room. I suppose it took up too much space on the shelf. This is the alternative to Royal Blue, which has even higher prices, although Royal Blue makes some food in-house. On the whole, I prefer Second Street because Royal Blue has a weird vibe and some weird brands and this place is a regular store.

Honestly unremarkable. An independent convenience store that knows it can charge more because of where it is. The staff were friendly enough, but the stock was kind of limited. That might be due to so many people being in town that week but they seemed to run out of drinks fairly quickly. It's also no fault of the store but it's worth mentioning right in front of their doors seems to be a popular hangout for Austin's homeless. I don't think we managed a single visit here without being asked for change. If you need a quick snack they are in a great location, just don't expect an overly pleasant visit.

For a dollar and some change it's a great size! As I noticed other people gathering around the hot food line, I couldn't help but decide on getting a plate. I picked up the ranchero bisteak and chicken Tinga and for my two sides, I decided on the plantains and nopales. Both of the meats I decided on were extremely delicious in flavor and the beef was exceptionally tender. I got red and green salsa and it appears that the red salsa is a tad bit creamy, which is not something I've had many times before. It was unique and extremely tasty. As for the green salsa, I have yet to try, but I am sure it won't disappoint. I do want to give this place praise because I have passed it up before, but it is not a place to be looked over. There's so many other goodies in here that you won't find at a regular grocery store so it's definitely worth coming inside and checking out especially if you just want something to do. The people were so nice exceptional customer service. There is seating if you want to eat inside and they were playing good music. I almost forgot to mention how exceptional the sides were. Often times people mess up nopales, but these were delicious.
